How to Make Beer Battered String Green Beans With Remoulade Dip
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup beer, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper until smooth and foamy.
- Trim the ends of 1 pound string beans. Dredge the beans in the batter, ensuring each bean is fully coated.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Carefully add about 10 beans at a time to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for approximately 1 minute, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried beans with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the beans are fried.
- While the beans are frying, prepare the remoulade: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped capers, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- To serve: Place a few tablespoons of remoulade dip in the bottom of a clear tumbler or small glass. Arrange the fried green beans vertically in the tumbler, standing them up in the dip.
- Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
